It might just be me then. I wouldn't call it a total ripoff. The melody in "Think for yourself because I won't be there for you" sounds a lot like "I sent a dream to you last night from the end of the world." Also, the grooves preceding both those lines sound similar to me.

Okay, I guess those two parts are pretty similar. Fortunately, it's nothing that bothers me.

Btw., think you misquoted me. 😄

Quite posssibly he has. It fits the song well, but I can't abstract from how similar they sound. My biggest issue with OK Computer.

Yea I hear that too! But then again, everyone has taken from The Beatles. That also happens to me with these songs..

Is it the groove that reminds of the chorus in "Think For Yourself" or is the groove similar to the groove in "Think For Yourself"? It's hard for me to hear a very obvious similarity, I don't hear it as a ripoff at least.

Whenever I hear "Karma Police", I hear "Sexy Sadie" too. Primal Scream's "Movin' on Up" and "Loaded" are both sympathies for the devil. Muse don't want to be stopped now, because they're having such a good time and a ball when they're playing "Explores" (okay, this sentence sounded stupid!). Can't think of others right now. Oh, I often get the impression that all Oasis' and Led Zeppelin's songs are other songs too! :?

Also "Empty Spaces 2". They called it "Eyes of a Stranger".

Though "Empty Spaces" was already "Welcome to the Machine 2"...I guess nobody's original.

They could probably do even more with G, Em, D and C.

People act surprised by this video, but song writing really is just chords - everything else is fancy peppering.

For about 3 seconds at the beginning of "Zebra" by Beach House I hear "Beidge over Trobled Water". Is that just me?

Anyway, yeah he's right. The same basic chord structures and songs have been used a lot.

Oh! Another classic example "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cata is soooo a rip off of "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell and The Voidoids.

For example, Coldplay's Fix You was made 13 years earlier and by R.E.M. and it was called Everybody Hurts.
The meaning and sound of the songs are similar.

I'm really not sure I'd make that comparison, or go as far to say they're the same song. Loads of songs are sad and share similar chord structures, if that makes them copies we'd have very few songs left in the world.
